we use old carpets on spring bamboo (aka knotweed, japanese bamboo etc etc)
.. they're invasive as all heck and build a tolerance to the sprays .. but
wants the light --(evil laugh) -- no light no plant ..

Vinegar, but the higher % that you can get where
natural products are sold. Several of our feed stores
care organic, just call around and stress to them not
to use Round up~~~it pollutes the soil and causes long
term damage and is just bad all around. If nothing
else, get the area wet and start digging or pulling
the weeds.
Hope this helps some.

Here are a few different "home" weed killers which won't be harmful to
the kids.

1. Vinegar will work for area's like weeds growing in cracks of cement.
I'm not sure if it kills grass, too, so I'd keep it to the cement. Pour
it all over, and in a few days, just sweep up the remains. The smell
should disappear shortly.

2. Rock Salt will kill weeds, but sprinkle it lightly, and carefully,
because it will kill grass and flowers, too!
